action Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) lately i've found myself to be lost a bit while playing the blues in A minor pentatonic i know the patterns of the minor pentatonic across the neck by heart, but i've got some questions: - i know the A note is the root note, but how do i incorporate it in my playing? is it a note i should always end my run on? - the rhythm guitar plays the chords in a blues progression. when a different chord is played, my playing should change a bit too. in what way should i look different at the pattern then?

action Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 Len Cnut doesn't admit it, but he's as gay as a pink rubber weezer on a Chantilly pie. all the signs are there: he has posters of mohammad ali's sweaty, muscular body above his bed. whenever he looks at it he gets this hazy, happy stare in his eyes. he knows more about home interior than my wife (trust me, that's saying something), AND he just loves the feeling of stuff grinding his inner prostate. it's so bad he eats concrete to make his shit get harder. more on topic, I'm not sure I'm really playing songs when I'm playing the blues. I'm more an improvising kind of guy, making up stuff as I go. lol. there is a sound excerpt of one of my more legendary sessions somewhere in the chat thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towelie Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 The minor pentatonic alone is pretty useless for blues playing and will sound horrid against most blues backing tracks. You need to learn your blues scales (similar to the minor pentatonic, but it has an added diminished 5th, which makes all the difference). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
